Quasars

by fighting_cax » Fri Jun 12, 2009 11:05 pm
Quasars are so distant that their light has taken billions of years to reach the Earth; consequently we see them as they were during the formation of the universe.

A. we see them as they were during
B. we see them as they had been during
C. we see them as if during
D. they appear to us as they did in
E. they appear to us as though in

OA is A

Please explain.

"b" seems to closest but it's wrong as stars can't see(inferred from "they had been")....
"a" is correct..
others can be easily negated.....

B is incorrect, because this suggests that the quasars don't exist anymore (!)
C is awkward.
D is incorrect: they couldn't have appeared to us in the formation of the universe.
E is awkward.

So, the answer should be A.
Have you wondered how you could have found such a treasure? -T
